I have the 6qt one and it's been amazing to us the last 2-3 years. I wanted a bigger one when I make soups, especially dishes like Pho for my Vietnamese Food loving foodies. The only criticism I have is that the air fryer lid is a pain to clean.

For $100 it is a no brainer to buy. I bought another one to put away for if/when I need another one or give it to one of my kids.

Anyone know the difference between the OS401 and FD401?
I was wondering the same thing. I have the 8qt. instapot sitting here that I ordered when they had that deal at Bed Bath & Beyond. So I'm going to have to make a decision before the return deadline. I know the Instapot that I got doesn't have the air fryer.
Order now, think later.
My primary use for the Instant pot is to fast steam cook ribs and replace that stage or cooking. Takes under 45 minutes depending on how much. Got fed up after it took almost 4 hrs to get a couple of racks to the right tenderness. 6-quart is perfect for 2 maybe 3 racks of St. Louis Style ribs. 2 racks of meaty baby backs are possible but its's kind of a tight squeeze. If I had it to do over again, I'd be looking for an 8.
There is one note, the newest Foodi has a 3rd cooking mode called steam crisp, I think. No idea if that's useful at all but worth looking into.
